From the source

Andoni Iraola has provided no further updates on the seriousness of Florian Wirtz’s ankle injury after the issue saw him leave the pitch early against Brighton.

In post-match interviews the Liverpool boss told the assembled press that although tests would certainly be done, a long absence did not appear to be liked.

“It doesn’t look very big but we are playing every three days so we need to see where he is.” Wirtz himself downplayed the issue after the match, telling the Liverpool Echo that he wasn’t all that worried.
